Grec Festival 2026
Barcelona’s Grec Festival turns 50 and chooses to celebrate as it knows best: by filling the city with ideas, bodies and voices that do not stand still. From 17 June to 8 August, Barcelona becomes a performance map with 99 proposals inviting people to look — and look at themselves — from different places.
About this event
This is not an edition for reviewing the past, but for putting it under strain. Creators such as Calixto Bieito, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Hofesh Shechter return to a festival they know well, while other voices burst in for the first time, opening new lines of work and risk.
The opening sets the tone: ‘L’òpera de tres rals’, by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, directed by Marta Pazos, recovers an uncomfortable text that continues to speak about inequality, opportunism and survival without losing its edge.
On 8 July, the Teatre Grec pauses for a moment to look back: a conversation with those who were there in 1976, archive images and music in the gardens draw a bridge between generations.
